I sent instructions on how to change it to not allow people not on your list - but if she doesn't have it actually running - then you can't get to it to do that - Wonder if she could re-install it - then disable it?

But, you need to be running AOL. Are you running AOL, MJH? If so, I think AOL has settings to disable the buddy list, or only accept from people on your list. Someone else would need to help you regarding the actual AOL settings. But, if you are not running AOL, then it shouldn't be running in the background. What you can try is have someone IM you while the AOL client is closed and see if it gets through. Maybe somehow the client is running. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .::] Sir Troth [::..

That was my understanding from friends with AOL. And then - the rest of us can just download and use AIM for instant messenging - | We ended up with an icon on our desktop for AOL broadband one day - just appeared there! I think it's an advert to click on to go to the site to read about it. I'm not crazy about progs etc. that just put stuff on my computer without asking - but - in this case, I wasn't positive, because my daughter uses it the most, and I wasn't sure if it was something she did or not. she said she didn't think it was. | CrisS | ----- Original Message ----- | From: Foxhillers@xxxxxxx | To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx | Sent: Saturday, October 04, 2003 10:50 AM | Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: AOL Instant Messenger | | | In a message dated 10/4/03 10:25:47 AM Eastern Daylight Time, | SirTroth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx writes: | | > Didn't you say you don't have an account with AIM ?
